The natural order of things

A herd of buffalo can only ever move as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the overall speed and health of the herd is improved by the regular culling of the weakest members.

In a similar fashion, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. We all know that excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells, but in the way of the natural order, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this manner, regular consumption of beer culls the weakest brain cells, making the overall brain a faster and more efficient machine.
